Why do you say you had no choice to believe in Him?

Why do you say you had no choice to believe in Him?


Its a long story, but i say it because it is true.

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,

I realize here that Jesus is talking to his Apostles but it may just as well apply to every one where salvation is concerned.


Romans 11
34
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?

We don,t know the mind of God.

Personally i believe we should spend more time doing the simple little things Jesus told us to do in our private lives,myself included( the parable of the good Samaritan comes to mind ) .

The sheep and the goats is an other example.

John6
10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

We are to show our love by doing what Jesus told us to do, by giving of our selves to help people who need help.

John6
40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

But no, some one comes up with something that no one actually knows anything about but only assumes and like others i jump to the fore, and usually regret it.
